CM Taib's Great "leap into"

The European Union, is deeply concerned about policies that affect the global community and in meeting the challenges in new concepts of food supply. In particular that of the emergence of bio-fuels that CM Taib took to London to sell this July, 2010. These are so expressed by Baroness Ludford. The outcome of that is that the EU shares Sarawak's aspiration of that great "leap into" basic innovation. Apparently, they're emphatically concerned more so on how we meet challenges, namely in designing policies that involve responsible attention to deforestation, illegal logging and land for food security.

Several other issues surround CM Taib's UK ploy.

Among them, the purported stand of the Sarawak Government and it's concern that national policies have not addressed the core problems. The biggest are poverty, education, ethnic profiling and equitable distribution of wealth.

The video speeches, of CM Taib, suggest how after five decades of 10 Economic Plans, the Barisan National Government is only now aware of the great "leap into" or "1Malaysia" which is supposed to meet local challenges against a backdrop of increasing convolutions in world finances and the delicate balance in political uncertainties.

House of Lords member Baroness Ludford (Member of EU Parliament) does not mince her words - Sarawak's problems of food supply and food security are the EU's shared problem and the impact of the "greap leap into" that Sarawak and Malaysia that CM Taib recommends, is a global concern. CM Taib presents himself as oblivious to the growing dissent and loud clamour of Sarawak natives of the realities on the ground.

Considering the EU Parliament's concerns, it isn't clear that when the US and EU demand for bio fuels is slow, what CM Taib's great "leap into" is all about. Not into some bottomless abyss surely.
